London, May 5.

Reports of impending changes in Britain's Na- tional Coal Board, coming within five months of the mines passing under national control, are widely credited in industrial circles here. They are without official confirmation and would be regarded not so much as confirmation of a "split" in the Board as reflecting the inevitable "teething" troubles of a new and untried in- stitution.
